Eye-catching property on 42a for auction in garden county

Glebe House, Woodenbridge, Wicklow, set for May auction.

A picture-postcard property from the Garden County is new to the market with Gorey-based auctioneers Quinn Property and is due to go under the hammer by online auction on Tuesday the 19th of May next.

Described by selling agent David Quinn as a “timeless four-bedroom country estate set on 42 acres of enchanting woodland and riverside gardens”, Glebeit certainly looks like a property that will attract farmers from the more “gentleman”-like end of the spectrum.

That said, there are some quality productive acres on this holding that’s next door to Woodenbridge Hotel & Golf Course in the Vale of Avoca; a 10-minute drive from the famous village itself.

With the emphasis on the lifestyle opportunities of this property, David talks of the proximity of Arklow town (7.5km away) – a place that was recently voted as one of the best in Ireland for its work/life balance. As well as the proximity to a vast array of amenities from secondary schools to supermarkets, there are blue flag beaches and excellent road networks nearby.

Accommodation in the house includes an entrance, living room, rear porch, bathroom, drawing room, dining room, boot room, kitchen and bedroom on the ground floor. On the first floor, there is a bathroom and three more bedrooms, while a basement features a wine cellar, games room, store room, utility room and pantry.

The lands include spectacular gardens, enchanting pathways, woodland and pasture – all with the River Aughrim running through it. The price guide is a tempting €750,000.
